<p>If I only took a couple summer courses at my new school and got A's on them what do i put on my resume under education. I really dont want to tell my future employers that I went to a community college, so is it okay to leave it out of the resume? Would that mean I have a 4.0 in my new school. If so should I just put that on my new resume?</p>
<p>Most employers won’t look at things like GPA. You can just say “I have a bachelor’s of _____ from ____” If you have an associate’s degree from a CC, you could list that but that might do you more harm than good. Now if an employer specifically asks for your GPA, you would probably have to give them your overall GPA including the lower division classes you took at a CC, but unless they specifically ask for transcripts, you might be able to avoid telling them that you attended CC.</p>
<p>I’m a junior right now. I just transfered to a UC and only took summer courses. I’m applying to an internship. What gpa do i put?</p>
<p>You put your overall undergraduate GPA. That includes all classes from your CCC, your UC, etc.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to calculate it by hand, use <a href=“http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm[/url]”>http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm</a></p>
<p>Be sure to keep the units the same (ex, if you are on a quarter system at your UC and did a semester system at your CCC, convert your summer class at the UC to semester units by dividing by 1.5)</p>
<p>…I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I have a related question if anyone knows:</p>
<p>So, after transferring and graduating from a UC and then applying for a job in my field (Electrical Engineering), does that mean I get to CALCULATE THE GPA MYSELF and put my OVERALL GPA (that is the gpa of all courses calculated individually - BOTH CCC and UC - and then added up to give the OVERALL UNDERGRADUATE CUMULATIVE gpa?? …this would benefit me tremendously since I have currently completed 81 units at my CCC with a 3.91 cumulative.</p>
<p>Let’s say after transferring (say hypothetically I get into UCLA), I am only able to maintain something like 3.3ish (because people say the UCLA curriculum is so demanding and competition is so cutthroat etc.). Then the “estimated average” between the CCC gpa and UC gpa will be somewhere in between - maybe around 3.6ish. So, is 3.6 the gpa I report on my resume for things like internships and jobs and so on?? Thanks in advance for your responses!</p>
<p>yep, i believe how that is the way it works good sir. anyone feel free to correct me, but that is what i was told by a counselor as well</p>
<p>victor5555, yes. That’s one extra benefit of CCC - it pads your gpa big time.</p>
<p>you would put:
CC GPA: 3.95
UCLA GPA: 3.3</p>
<p>…i took a class on this a long time ago, annoying</p>
<p>First of all, most employers don’t even ask for your GPA. And if they ask you (in an interview), you tell them ONE gpa - your overall undergraduate GPA. You don’t go listing off, “Oh, I have a 4.0 from college A, I have a 3.8 from College B, I have a 3.76 from College C, and I have a 3.5 from UCLA.”</p>

<p>From what I’ve read in the Internship/Investment Banking sub-forum it appears that numerous employers use GPA to weed out candidates. But I do agree with just putting one GPA down.</p>
<p>Another question. Are you required to state you went to CC on your Resume under the Education section? Isn’t is deceiving if you put UCLA for undergrad when essentially you only went there for 2 years?</p>
